In Reply to: Real nice and sharp shots- isn't that a great lens 24-120 & D70's my fav combo too. posted by Joe M on May 31, 2006 at 04:37:58:

..........I have to admit that it's a really convenient lens especially when on the go. It seems to be at its sharpest between F8 and F11. I got the lens when putting together a kit for my F100 about 5 or 6 years back. I liked the wide angle setting it gave on that camera. Unfortunately with the D70s it becomes more like a 36mm on a film or full frame slr. Which is still ok. So now I'm taking a slightly different perspective and having pretty good fun.

A while back I spurged on a 60mm Nikkor Micro 1:2.8D. Used it to take the above photo. I like the sharpness this lens affords much better than the 24-120....but the versatility of the zoom makes it pretty close to essential.

Anyway, thanks for the link and I'll check that out.

later,
